Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

2-Way Bass Reflex Speaker System for powerful sound

10 hours of MP3-CD music

MP3 stands for "MPEG 1 Audio layer-3".MP3 is a revolutionary compression technology by which large digital music files can be made up to 10 times smaller without radically degrading their audio quality. MP3 has become the standard audio compression format used on the world wide web, allowing quick and easy audio file transfer.

AM/FM tuner

Stereo cassette deck

Dynamic Bass Boost for deep and dramatic bass

Dynamic Bass Boost maximises your music enjoyment by emphasising the bass content of the music throughout the range of volume settings - from low to high â€" at the touch of a button! Bottom-end bass frequencies usually get lost when the volume is set at a low level. To counteract this, Dynamic Bass Boost can be switched on to boost bass levels, so you can enjoy consistent sound even when you turn down the volume.

Digital Sound Control for optimised music style settings

Digital Sound Control offers you a choice of pre-set Jazz, Rock, Pop and Classic controls you can use to optimise the frequency ranges for different musical styles. Each mode uses graphic equalising technology to automatically adjust the sound balance and enhance the most important sound frequencies in your chosen music style. Ultimately, Digital Sound Control makes it easy for you get the most out of your music by precisely adjusting the sound balance to match the type of music you are playing.

120W RMS total output power

USB Direct for MP3/WMA music playback

With the USB Direct mode, you can simply select the music on a USB device and playback all your content. All you have to do is plug in your USB device to playback music or export content from the device.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the money, 2 Jan 2009

Campbell J. Smith "Errol flynn's lovechild" (in a champagne Supernova in the sky) - See all my reviews

This review is from: PHILIPS FWM185/05 Mini Hi-Fi System (Electronics)
I paid £84 for this Hifi just before Christmas 2008. It was delivered with amazing speed - less than 48 hours, instead of the normal, super saver speed which had been my choice. Great start.

The speakers are brilliant - 120 watts at full volume playing hard rock and it did not suffer any buzz or vibration. The conventional elements - radio, CD player and tape - are all very good but the clincher for me was the ability to play IPod shuffle via the USB port (not sure about the other Apple gadgets but I guess if they can be comnnected to a USB they'll be just fine) and it is capable of playing music from a Samsung mobile through it, again via USB. Fantastic.

All in all, a very good product, even if it has been priced up by £10. Still worth the money.

3.0 out of 5 stars mP3 great but poor tuner, 28 May 2009
By 
This review is from: PHILIPS FWM185/05 Mini Hi-Fi System (Electronics)
Looks a great piece of kit initially especially the ability to play mp3/WMA CDs and mp3s on USB keys but it does have some peculiarities. Big let down is radio as it has a manual tuning system, ie a knob to turn! This was a big surprise as I would expect a programmable tuner on every system these days. Cassette deck is a welcome extra over most mini systems and is semi concealed so you can pretend you don't have one! There is no headphone socket and the speakers have rather odd 4 wire connection which means that you cannot use better speakers. Technical design is heading the right direction but a manual tuner is so last century. Overall rather a disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, but a bit basic, 8 April 2009
By 
This review is from: PHILIPS FWM185/05 Mini Hi-Fi System (Electronics)
This is a good unit for the money, but in a world of multi-media it could use a few input and output options. That said, it does exactly what the description stated.
If you're looking for a straightforward unit for a small-medium sized room then this is perfect.
